Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 20042000 Odyssey
I recently bought a used 2000 Honda Odyssey. 47K miles on it. I bought it and then drove it home, quite a distance. Imagine my horror, when I discovered trans oil all over the rear hatch door and window. Leaking around the axle seal, with play in the diff. The dealership where I was diagnosed, gave me a copy of the bulletin that says Honda is honoring the trans. problems. Any one had any experience with this? Results good? Otherwise, I am delighted with the van. The mpg is incredible..the comfort level is great. Perry Lots of answers at www.odyclub.com >I recently bought a used 2000 Honda Odyssey. 47K miles on it.

Results good? Those vans have known transmission problems, and the general consensus is that Honda is quietly but effectively taking care of things. Your van has an extended warranty on the transmission to 7 years/100K miles. That's the official line. Unofficially, my guess is that you'll never pay for a transmission repair ever--Honda will handle it. They're on the cusp of some very bad publicity on their transmissions over the past 6-7 years, and they're trying not to become "just another Chrysler". : I recently bought a used 2000 Honda Odyssey. 47K miles on it.

I like my '01 Odyssey a lot, but with the exception of one 400-mile freeway segment where I got almost 30 mpg, I wouldn't describe the mileage as "incredible." Paul Well, I am coming from driving a 16yo Astro van. I was lucky to get 20/21 mpg. (all this is highway mileage) On one Odyssey tank, I got 25.9mpg. Yes, I would like to get the 30mpg...maybe once I get the van serviced and maybe tuned... I guess my "incredible" is relative to the Astro. I have a little Nissan Frontier that doesn't do as well as the Odyssey. Perry > : I recently bought a used 2000 Honda Odyssey. 47K miles on it.

This, on trips from Knoxville north to Michigan/Ohio, from Knox to Gulf Shores AL, from Knoxville to Houston TX, and Knoxville to Charleston SC. It doesn't seem to matter if the van is loaded with luggage or not. We set the cruise on 70 and run the interstates with a.c. on the whole way. Our friends have a same year Caravan and get a high of about 22mpg. The only apparent difference is that at 70mph, their van is turning about 2500 rpm, ours is running at 2000 mpg which must be the major difference. Ron My 04 gets about 27 on the highway but start driving your Odysseh around the city and expect about 13... > Re. mileage on a 2000 Odyssey. We get a consistent 26 to 28 mpg on our > van.
